In a Private Message I invited you to the new PAAS thread. You responded online: "superhawk here i am. what can i do for you? within reason (bg)?"

Reminds me of a classic Henny Youngman line: "A gorgeous young woman in a tight skirt walks up to me in a ritzy hotel lobby and says, 'Honey, for $200.00, I'll do anything you want.' Great, Sweetheart! Paint my house."

I don't want you to paint my house. But I am interested in your take on Warren Buffett's move into silver. His recent investment plays, IMHO, have been most conservative. He raised a lot of cash. He diversified brilliantly into bonds by buying a bond-heavy re-insurer with stock, thus avoiding capital gains on sale of Berkshire Hathaway shares.

His move into silver would not be terribly extraordinary, except that he took physical delivery! He built a secure warehouse and staffed it with guards to protect his huge hoard. First, why not gold, platinum, and/or, palladium? Second, why not paper ownership of silver? What does this guy know that the rest of the investing world doesn't? Is it Y2K?
